Commissioners Propose Rental Terms for City Buildings
The board of county commissioners proposes renting 10 council buildings to the city for municipal use with rent not exceeding six percent of building investment. They may also have county officials perform municipal work with costs added to the county, and profits go to the county general fund. The courthouse and jail cost $750000, with a proposed $12000 annual rent and utilities paid by the city. They note not guaranteeing the entire ground floor but say details can be resolved later.
